Abstract: A clinical trial study is modeled for automatically generating business intelligence information regarding the clinical trial study. The clinical trial study has a total budget amount and a total amount of deliverables. A software application program is provided that has equations and business rules that together define a process, a timeline, and deliverables associated with the clinical trial study. The program is populated with items including entities that have been contracted to provide the deliverables to the clinical trial study, budget items and amounts related to the deliverables for the respective entities that have been contracted to provide the deliverables, and for at least some of the budget items, a time frame in which the budget item is expected to be incurred or paid. Business intelligence information is then automatically generated using the equations and business rules in the program, and the items entered into the program.

Abstract: An electronic method is provided of analyzing budgets for clinical trials. A clinical trial budget is entered into a processor. The budget includes activities and associated activity costs. The activities are classified into a set of standardized service categories. The processor then electronically allocates the associated activity costs with the respective standardized service category so that budget costs can be objectively analyzed. The budget further includes assumption specifications. The processor further calculates per unit costs of the assumption specifications. The activities and the associated activity costs are then equalized against reference assumption specifications using at least the per unit costs via calculations performed in the processor.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for visualizing data relationships between components of a project for identifying potential duplication of selected components. One of the components is data collection assignments.

Abstract: A computer system and method is provided for mobile Internet (portable) digital data capture and data distribution. More than one project owner can share the same project schema.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for managing trip reports related to clinical monitoring, wherein each trip report includes a trip status. An administration computer maintains a plurality of trip reports associated with a clinical study. Trip reports are entered into the administration computer. A user interface allows authorized users to view the trip reports and change the status of the trip reports in the administration computer. The administration computer produces a summary report showing at least the status of selected trip reports.
